Kraft-Hiatt Program for Jewish-Christian Understanding

Funded by the College and by the Kraft-Hiatt family, the Kraft-Hiatt Program for Jewish-Christian Understanding sponsors a number of opportunities that continue to have profound impact on individual student and faculty participants and the campus community at large. 

Lecture Series

Each semester, the McFarland Center presents Kraft-Hiatt lectures, performances, and other events on the Holocaust, Jewish history, and contemporary Jewish faith and life. 

Study & Research Opportunities

The Kraft-Hiatt fund has supported faculty in the development and enhancement of several courses, as well as providing opportunities for both students and faculty to study abroad. 

Kraft-Hiatt Community

The Kraft-Hiatt fund supports Judaic Studies at Holy Cross via endowed professor and scholar-in-residence positions. A faculty advisory committee also oversees the initiative.
